This one is really easy to miss, because it's been carved out, for patios.
This was on the building on the east side of Vine just across from your photo. This was always a favorite of mine. https://www.flickr.com/photos/21946699@N02/3297887698/sizes/o/
CityKin has some older photos of the back of this building, so you can get a slightly better look at the ghost sign.
ReplyDeleteThat was a beauty of a sign, but I'll admit, the rest of the neighborhood looks better.

ReplyDeleteWe'd seen pictures of that before, but didn't know where it was. Very cool! Thanks!
